2007 Jimny how to remove back up light switch

Had to go check as I have the car on stands and a spare box. If you had a slim ring spanner  
it just might do. Very tight in between the housing ribs and a bolt. I would cut off the wires if I had to to get the ring spanner on.

A split ring spanner -- either bought or made from a standard ring spanner by careful use of an angle grinder -- is great for this kind of task.

A proper quality ring spanner would be slimmer than mine and most likely fit just fine. 
My split ring spanners, also cheap, are even more bulky and the kit stops at 19.
I have grinded one down a bit for another task, but that only made it soft and more or less useless.

If I had to cut the two wires they are easily hooked back up with a solder shrink wrap connector.
Not sure if it was this or another connector that had a plug that could fit thru the ring spanner.



 

I'm not arguing with you. But some people aren't as good with a soldering iron as you are. I'm just giving another option.

Sorry, i did not think you where arguing, just wanted to make sure anyone cutting their wires hooks them back up properly to avoid further problems.
